whole body was as stiff as a stone, and he simply did not know how to react.
Just then, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and buried her face against his chest while still
fervently crying. Her tears soaked into the fabric on his chest, and it felt ke her tears were absorbed

After a long while, Jackson finally raised his stiff arms and cautiously wrapped them around Serenity.
If she had been so depressed and in despair, then she could just let it all out, but… she must only let it

He frowned slightly and then pressed the answer button.
“Hello?” Lisa’s voice spoke up at the other end of the line. “Serenity? Are you there? Why aren’t you
